Simple Pleasures Exhibition Catalog

How do you find joy when you're drowning in depression so bad you wish your cats would eat you? Not with the goal of pretending the soul crushing existential dread doesn’t exist, but to survive with your humanity intact. Artist, designer, and cat-lover Bansri Thakkar doesn’t have prescriptive answers but she does have glimmers of light to share with you through the long night.

I’d love for the exhibition catalog
to resonate with everyone—whether they’re artists, cat lovers, or simply people who enjoy beautiful things. It’s for anyone
who finds joy in art, nature, and small everyday moments.
While illustrators and designers might connect with the process
or technical aspects of my work,
I also hope it speaks to those
who appreciate cozy, thoughtful visuals (especially if they love cats!).
